HOW TO USE THE INVERTER
3�1
PLACEMENT OF INVERTER
The location must be:
A� Dry: Do not allow water to drip or splash onto it�
B� Cool: Ambient air temperature should be between 0 °C and 40 °C – ideally
between 15°C and 25°C� Do not place the inverter on or near a heating
vent or any piece of equipment which is generating heat above room
temperature� Do not place the inverter in direct sunlight unnecessarily�
C� Ventilated: Allow at least one inch of clearance around the unit for air flow�
Do not place items on or over the inverter during operation� Make sure that
air is allowed to circulate freely around the unit� A fan is helpful in the case
where the inverter is operating at maximum�
D� Safe: Do not install the inverter in the same compartment as the batteries
or in any compartment where flammable liquids or fumes may be or may
become present�
E� Dust: Do not install the inverter in a dusty environment� The dust can be
inhaled into the unit when the cooling fan is working�
F� Close to batteries: Avoid excessive cable lengths� Do not install the inverter
in the same compartment as batteries�

MOUNTING POSITION OF THE INVERTER
The inverter may be mounted horizontally on the top of a horizontal surface or
under a horizontal surface� The inverter may be mounted on a vertical surface
only horizontally�

GETTING CONNECTED
3�3�1 Power supply selection – It must get power from storage battery/batteries or a
car cigarette lighter port�
3�3�2 Connect the inverter to power supply� Set the switches into the OFF position
(including inverter and applicances)�
a) Get power from battery/batteries: Connect the DC cables to the DC battery
terminals on the rear panel of the inverter� The red terminal is positive (+)
and the black terminal is negative (-) (82292/82293/82294)�
b) Get power from car cigarette lighter port, insert the car cigarette lighter plug
into the car cigarette lighter port (82291)�
3�3�3
Connect inverter to appliances� Make sure that the load power is within the
rated power of the inverter and the start power should not exceed the peak
power of the inverter� When having the inverter connected with appliances and
a power supply, switch on the inverter and appliances� If you are operating
several loads from the power inverter, turn them on separately after the invert-
er has been turned on� This will ensure that the power inverter does not have
to deliver the starting currents for all the loads at once�
